All Turkish airports announce orange threat level
In response to the elevated risk of terrorism, all airports in Türkiye have issued the “orange” threat level. This decision was made in light of intelligence suggesting the potential for terrorist attacks within the country's borders. The authorities have advised the public to exercise heightened vigilance and adhere to security protocols, Kazinform News Agency reports.
The current “orange” threat level indicates that the situation requires additional vigilance and that controls have been reinforced at airports. Passengers are kindly requested to arrive at airports in advance to allow for supplementary security checks. Specialists have advised of the potential for flight delays due to the increased precautions.
Türkiye, which is a popular tourist destination, has repeatedly faced terrorist threats at present and in the past. The authorities are taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety of citizens and visitors, including through cooperation with international security services.
Fortunately, no specific threats have been confirmed at this time, but authorities are urging everyone to be alert and report any suspicious activity.
The situation is being monitored by authorized bodies and the authorities promise to keep the public informed of any changes in threat levels.
Citizens and tourists are advised to follow official statements and avoid visiting places with high concentrations of people, especially in major metropolises and cities. It is noted that security remains the top priority in the current situation.
It was earlier reported that a terrorist attack struck the facilities of Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in the Turkish capital Ankara on Wednesday. The attack killed and wounded people.
